Custom cache not clearing

I am using MODx revolution 2.0.3 traditional, linux 2.2.15, php 5.2.13, mysql 5.0.91-community.

I am following the instructions on http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Caching to create a custom cache entry using php

I do the following



This successfully creates the entry ../core/cache/my_test.cache.php

However, when i use Site -> Clear Cache from within MODx admin the cache is cleared except my custom entry my_test.cache.php

If i move my_test.cache.php into ../core/cache/web/resources then the file is removed when the cache is cleared.

Any suggestions as to how i can get $modx->cacheManager->set to write my custom cache file into a location used by Clear Cache?

Or could this be a bug with either Clear Cache or modCacheManager?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you create cache entries outside of the standard locations where Revolution caches it’s data, with an unlimited lifetime, then those cache files will need to be removed via a Plugin registered with OnCacheUpdate that takes care of your custom cache entries.
